Download or read book Geology and Mineral Resources of Nigeria written by Nuhu George Obaje and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-06-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains details on the geological units of Nigeria and the associated mineral resources. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses the geology of the crystalline rocks and their regional distribution while the sedimentary basins constitute the subject of Part 2. Part 3 takes the mineral resources of Nigeria one on one, their geological environment, mode of occurrence, localities and where possible the reserves estimation. Thereafter, an account of the previous and current mining policies (including that of petroleum) of the Nigerian government is given and goes ahead to list some specific investment opportunities in the solid minerals sector.

Download or read book Petroleum Source Rocks written by Barry J. Katz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades there has been increased interest in the availability of hydrocarbon charge through a better understanding of petroleum geochemistry and the identification and characterization of petroleum source rocks. These rocks are geochemically unique and form under specific sets of circumstances. This book brings together both geologic and geochemical data from fifteen petroleum source rocks, ranging in age from Devonian to Eocene, that would otherwise be widely dispersed in the literature or available only in proprietary corporate databases. Much of this information, presented in either a tabular or graphic fashion, provides the petroleum explorationist and the geochemist with a framework to establish relationships among various geochemical indices and depositional settings.

Download or read book Seismic Inversion and Source Rock Evaluation on Jurassic Organic Rich Intervals in the Scotian Basin Nova Scotia written by Natasha Morrison and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Source rocks are a key element of a petroleum system and have been identified as a risk in the Scotian Basin, offshore Nova Scotia, Canada. There have been 24 significant hydrocarbon discoveries, including eight commercial discoveries since 1967 in the Sable Sub-Basin of the Scotian Basin. Although there are proven hydrocarbon accumulations in both Jurassic and Cretaceous reservoirs, identification of their source is problematic. This is due to the low organic matter content of the studied sedimentary section, 'turbo' drilling practices, and extensive drilling mud contamination. This project investigates the extent and geochemical properties of known and presumed Middle to Upper Jurassic source rocks in the Scotian Basin. The studied successions were deposited in two main depositional environments: i) Middle Jurassic distal foreslope and basinal stratigraphic equivalents of the Abenaki Bank; ii) Upper Jurassic deltaic and shelf margin carbonate sediments deposited in elongate depocenters at the shelf margin. It tests the hypothesis that source rocks, if present (in a 2120 km2 area surrounding Sable Island), can be identified using petrophysical techniques and mapped using seismic inversion. This is the first time that these approaches to source rock presence and distribution have been publicly documented offshore Nova Scotia. Investigation of Middle and Upper Jurassic successions and their potential as source rock was completed using a combination of petrophysical and seismic techniques. Wireline log estimation of total organic carbon (TOC) was completed using the Passey method. Seismic inversion was achieved via a 3D constrained sparse spike inversion (CSSI), based on the presence of low impedance source rocks investigated using the Løseth et al. "Source Rock from Seismic" method. The study area was selected based on well control (with 19 Jurassic penetrations) and the availability of 3D seismic data (Sable MegaMerge, courtesy of the Sable Offshore Energy Project). The petrophysical methods did not identify intervals of source rock in the studied wells. This is consistent with the publicly available geochemical data, showing measured TOC values of generally 2%. Seismic inversion was effective in mapping low acoustic impedance intervals, especially in calcareous shales. However, without unequivocal evidence of high TOC content (2%), low acoustic impedance cannot be interpreted as source rock, i.e. a relationship between AI and TOC was not found. A correlation was found between low impedance calcareous shales and overpressured zones with overpressure known to lower seismic velocity. It is suggested that late hydrocarbon generation and migration in the Scotian Basin are responsible for overpressure. Hence, low acoustic impedance may provide indirect evidence of source rock presence and active or late stage hydrocarbon generation from below well penetrations or from outside the study area.

Download or read book Biostratigraphic and Geological Significance of Planktonic Foraminifera written by Marcelle K. BouDagher-Fadel and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2012 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foraminifera are free-living protozoa that grow an elaborate, solid calcite skeleton. Their well-marked evolutionary record makes them of outstanding value in zonal stratigraphy. The role of fossil planktonic foraminifera as markers for biostratigraphical zonation and correlation underpins most drilling of marine sedimentary sequences and is key to hydrocarbon exploration. Biostratigraphic and Geological Significance of Planktonic Foraminifera presents a comprehensive analysis of existing data on fossil planktonic foraminifera genera and their phylogenetic evolution in time and space. In addition, the book contains new, unpublished data on carbonate thin sections with identified fossil planktonic foraminifera from the Far East to offshore Brazil and South Africa.
